I had a feeling that was the case, as I could find no other rhyme or reason as to why only one of the dpad directions was mapping before. In anycase, I did a full rework of XboDrv and fixed all of my controller issues. Now dpad-as-button is enabled by default but I can switch on the fly back to dpad as axis by hitting the Xbox Btn. Thank you so much Lablewhore for all the help. That fixed my issues with Reicast, but it did break the dpad in pifba and sega master systems emu. Apparently they both require the dpad as axis to work. In anycase, being able to switch between the two modes now allows the dpad to work in all emulators perfectly! Having Reicast dpad working with Axis mapping too one day would be great, and a lot easier to configure, but at least it will work 100% regardless with the 360 controller. As lablewhore noted before, it is quite a powerful feature to be able to switch on the fly between dpad as button and axis. I also am not having any issues with Reicast picking up the 360 controllers everytime now on start. I am going to go ahead and assume that issue was not actually a Reicast issue but an issue on my end with Xbodrv that I ended up fixing today. Now that all of this is fixed tomorrow I will get back onto testing more games and giving updates.

We are so close to this emulator running most games perfectly! Just got to smooth out audio, and a few more speed tweaks and its there guys! This is turely amazing what we are getting out of the pi2 hardware and such an exciting time to be a old school gamer!
